Quick Post!

Hi everyone! Went to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning. I am the same weight as last week. I will take that! :) I really am happy about my choices during the week but from what I have seen if I eat all of my weekly 35 "extra" points I do not see a loss. I am use to eating them all- so maybe my body is TOO use to it?? For me to not be HUNGRY monster all the time I plan on adding in more "filling foods" and seeing how that works for me. We shall see! :)

Here was dinner last night- chicken burger w/ guacahummus and steamed broccoli. YUM! Dessert- Loving the fruit!


Oh so did you see my post about the Larabars? or my version of BALLS? lol Well I forgot I wanted to add in some unsweetened shredded coconut- so I decided to roll the balls in it instead- :) I like how these came out- so tasty! :)

Snack today after the pool was inspired by seeing a similar snack over at Danica's Daily- Cracker w. laughing cow & apricot low sugar jam. YUM!

About to get dinner ready- not a new one for us over here, but a tasty & easy one! :) Lettuce wraps & some edamame. These chicken meatballs are one point each!
I just add in some shredded carrots and top it with a sweet & spicy chili sauce.

OH! I brought my stuff with me for the pool today so after weigh in & lunch I got my butt in the pool again today! :) For those of you who are looking for an easy to use and fairly priced heart rate monitor the Polar F4 (click link to see info on it!) that I got is a good one! I love it and so far am very happy with how easy it is to use! I say look around for a sale- because the prices I see online are WAY higher than what I paid for mine.

Stats for today's pool exercises DURATION: 1 hour 13 min. CALORIES BURNED 421 :) WHoohoooooo! :)

Have a great evening everyone! :) BYE! Pin It

  2. I need to take you with me on my next shopping trip to Trader Joes. Clearly, this should have been your profession.

  3. WooHoo! You see, I see how clean your food is and I KNOW this is why I am stuck. I was doing so much better before and tracking so much better. I've let a few things slack and I've gotten too "relaxed" with my counting.

    LOL at your hungry monster.

  8. Those meat balls looks so good and I like the idea of making them into lettuce wraps.

    A maintain is pretty cool!

    Up the veggies and fruits, they are so filling for so few calories.

  10. The really cool thing about knowing this is you also know how to lose now.
    So it gives that feeling of control back.
    Great job on the maintain and dthe workout.
    And I never thought of putting jam on laughing cow. good idea. But I do need to steer clear of the crackers...I tend to eat too many.

  15. Thanks for the suggestion about the HRM. I keep telling myself to get one, but haven't done the research to find a good but sensibly priced one.

  16. You spoil us!!??sweet AND savoury balls!!?? Dang girl!! I have a bit of Deja vu with the Lara balls, I swear I have seen someone else do that??

  17. Have you tried eating some of your AP points too? I've found that as I add more activity, I really have to eat about 1/2 my APs with my WPs to see a weight loss. If you try this, commit to doing it for at least 3 weeks just in case you have a temporary gain from adding more points. It's worth a try, since eating more points is always more fun!

  18. So I had this random thought as I was getting ready to read your post today. I used it awhile back when I was trying to bust through a plateau - have you ever heard of the Wendy Plan? It is where you mix up your WPA with your daily points to shake things up with your body. It is fun to challenge yourself and it might just help you push past your plateau.

    I think I want all the food in your day - I LOVE your guacahummus burger and every time I see those meatballs I want some!

  19. Hey! Wanted to quick ask you, when you use your weeklies, do you spread them out evenly or save them up? I have found that if I vary my days with points (for example, one higher point day, the next a lower point day) I seem to have better luck. So I might use 10 on Sunday, 5 on Monday, none on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, etc. I went a long time not using my weeklies and stopped losing. Crazy. Anyway, just a thought!

    Keep up the good work. Your blog makes me hungry. ;)
